“Jesuit Pilgrimages are an amazing way to see historical and significant holy sites throughout the world. We have been blessed to enjoy the engaging company of Fr. John Mossi, S.J., and Joe Naylor on our recent trips.” - Linda Maxon, Pilgrimage Host

A Spiritual Journey to the Holy Land & Jordan

The California Province of the Society of Jesus announces a special 13-Day pilgrimage to the Holy Land to visit the sacred sites where Jesus was born, baptized, preached the beatitudes, witnessed the marriage at Cana, crossed the Sea of Galilee, became transfigured on Mt. Tabor, celebrated the Eucharist at the Last Supper, died on Calvary, and was placed in the tomb where he rose on Easter morning.

This inspirational journey, under the spiritual direction of Fr. John Mossi, SJ, is being limited to approximately 18 people so as to provide easy access to the holy sites.

August 21, 2018 – As we reckon with the Grand Jury report on sexual abuse by priests in Pennsylvania and the failures of bishops to protect the children entrusted to their care, our hearts and prayers—first and foremost—are with the victim-survivors.

January 17, 2019 — Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. Eugene F. Merz, SJ, who was called to eternal life on January 16, 2019, around 5:30 a.m. Gene died at Zilber Hospice in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He was eighty-seven years old, a Jesuit for seventy years, and a priest for fifty-seven years.

January 16, 2019 — It was a homecoming fifty years in the making. In 2016, Fr. Casey Bukala, SJ, moved to the Colombiere Center near Detroit, where elder Jesuits live in community, receive the healthcare they need, and pray for the Church and the Society. It was not Fr. Bukala’s first time at Colombiere, however.

January 9, 2019 — Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. John “Jack” R. Crocker, SJ, who died on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at Colombiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan. He was 88 years old. May he rest in peace.
